Slide 56 FAQs - Untimed Test and Allow Test Breaks FAQs D2 Assessment ** FAQ Q: Why is the test “Untimed”? I thought all operational ISTEP+ and IREAD‐3 tests were timed. A: The tests are timed tests with time limits. TAS offers an option to manage the time limits via the computer – which would automatically end the student testing session if time runs out. The tests are timed in the classroom by the test examiner instead of by the application. ** FAQ Q: The Allow Test Breaks checkbox has been checked. I cannot uncheck the box. Why? A: Test breaks between sessions adds to the security of the test. This feature cannot be turned off. Q: What is a “Test Access Code” and why is it important? Can I change the Code? A: Access codes are the “keys” to access the assessment. The TAS will create default Test Access Codes. These can be changed anytime prior to the first student logging into the test.
